Penang Garden Restaurant

As a Malaysian, this place is underwhelming. Food is not authentic. Pretty much everything that was served on the Nasi lemak platter was taken out of the fridge before serving.

was served luke warm satays and the chicken and beef meat had dry chewy texture - definitely not fresh and probably reheated. Hainan chicken was served with cold brocolli and without the traditional soup (which was as stated as included on the menu).

This place is a total fail for real Malaysian food. Nasi lemak was sad, char kway teow was oily and wrong, and the Hainanese chicken was fridge-cold. Half the menu is random Chinese dishes. Overpriced, and they close randomly. Don't waste your time or money.

DO NOT GO here if you’re looking for authentic Malaysian cuisine. I ordered nasi lemak, char kway teow, and Hainanese chicken, and it was a complete disaster. The nasi lemak? Just plain rice with some sad vegetables — no anchovies, no sambal, nothing that makes it nasi lemak! The char kway teow was made with the wrong noodles, and it was hard and dripping with oil. And the Hainanese chicken? Cold. As in, straight-out-of-the-fridge cold. Unbelievably disappointing. When I confronted the owner, he just laughed it off, saying his restaurant wouldn’t be busy if people didn’t like the food. Well, I told him he might as well call it “China Garden” since half the menu is Chinese food that’s not even close to being Malaysian. Total waste of time and money.

Nothing wrong with the restaurant. But what they serve is an egregious approximation of Malaysian food. Just because you like it doesn't mean it's authentic - you are being lied to.

Where we're from, we would not give this quality of food away for free even. You are being ripped off. None of their food is authentic or tasty. I'm sorry to have to write the review. It is just my humble opinion.

Banana rice, the vegetable and meat is from the freeze, not only cold

The overpriced nasi lemak was not even nasi lemak: no anchovies (even though it was listed on the menu), the staff was terribly rude when asked about it and I like to decide about tips myself instead of being charged their percentage without warning. Just don’t go there!

The food came out I pretty quick and was delicious! Recommend the pork chop and Thai fried rice. The waiter was not friendly, never smiled was VERY short with us and spoke fast like he wanted us to hurry up and get out. He wasn’t pleasant. After our food came out we realized they were setting up for a large crowd. The place got PACKED. Won’t go back because of the service.

I went for dinner, the restaurant was quiet when I got there but got busy when I was there. Food is AMAZING and the service was great. There were only 2 to guys working, but they were well organized looking after customers. One of them even brought me a fork (I'm white, so I got a chuckle out of this, as I am not the clientele they are used to). I don't get the option to have laksa very often in America, but was overjoyed for the opportunity and experience, though will say I was quite jealous of the beautiful whole fish the table next to me got, will remember that for the next time I'm in SF!
